GWBH, this thread is a mess. I support everything said here except your posts. Dude, (or dudette) get more training, or follow the training you had. No, you were not bent. It's nearly impossible to get bent at 30' or 35' with an AL80. At your level, if you're diving in your bathtub you should have a buddy. "the type of diving we were doing didn't require a buddy". You know how many people I've seen over the last 20 years who got seriously screwed up in 15' of water, with no buddy to help them?
The mere fact that you were willing to A. jump in the water with inadequate gear (no timer, no depth gauge) B. Do so without a buddy; shows us just how far off the mark you are. I wanted to stick up for you, but as I read more and more of your posts, you just solidified the stance that you REALLY don't have a clue how unsafe your diving is. I'm not trying to beat you up, and we want you to have fun and be safe.
So to recap: You're not bent. You screwed up. Next time use proper gear, and take a good buddy with you. Peace Out!
